Review: Informative & Beautiful Reference for Cooking & Your Collection! - I absolutely love this book! It’s so informative, it is beautiful with the pictures, drawings and layouts! I love that it explains why certain spices go together and the pages have little spice blends and recipes throughout! I am not new to cooking, but I am still very amateur. I have become more open to new spices and flavors and this book has helped to get that confidence! It’s a nice book to add to my collection as a reference!
Review: Wow. Just Wow - This is exactly the book I was looking for. Being able to create a spice blend as needed, instead of buying a jar of stuff that will be stale in 3 months, is an upgrade to one's cooking and a solid budgetary move for the serious cook This book has the principles and data to empower you to make your spice cabinet work much better. The "WHY" as well as the "how" of using and blending spices. One of the best books of any genre I have ever purchased.
